CINCINNATI: 1949 Crosley Farm-O-Road Original Prototype. This
vehicle is from the Bill Angert Estate Collection of nine (9)
Crosley automobiles. Bill Angert was the Narrator/Historian in the
PBS documentary "Powel Crosley and the 20th Century". Bill Angert's
1952 Crosley Station Wagon is currently on display in the Auburn,
Cord, Duesenberg Museum in Auburn, Indiana, and several of his cars
have been featured in Automobile Quarterly. Seven of his nine
Crosleys are National Award winning automobiles at Crosley Nationals
in Wauseon, Ohio. This vehicle is one of 2 Farm-O-Road Prototypes.
The existence of the other one is unknown. My Father's journal
describes this car as being built in 1947 and tested and modified
through 1949. The Farm-O-Road went into production and was sold for
three years: 1950~1952. Less than 600 production vehicles were made.
This car was used by Powel Crosley on the Crosley Estate in
Cincinnati, Ohio, and most of the pictures in the sales catalogs and
promotional posters were of this car. This car was purchased at
auction out of the carraige house on the grounds of the Crosley
Estate in the early 1960's after Powel's death. The car was put in
storage after its purchase by a buyer with intentions to restore it.
It was never uncovered until my Father purchased it from the buyer's
estate in 1982. My Father totally restored this vehicle, and it won
1st Place at Crosley Nationals in 1991. This prototype has 4-wheel
disc brakes (production models had drum brakes). The tie rod is
located in front of the axle (production models were located behind
the front axle). This car has a dual range (high & low) 3- speed
transmission. It has front and rear hydraulic hitches for a variety
of attachments and farm implements that were available as
accessories. It has a rear power take-off that has a governor
control. This vehicle is being sold with NO TITLE. This car does not
have (and never had) a vin/serial number, since it was a hand-built
prototype, and was not for sale. It was used exclusively for design
and testing purposes, and later used at the Powel Crosley Estate
(Pinecroft), in Cincinnati. I will provide BILL OF SALE only since
this vehicle has never been titled since it was built. This was my
Father's favorite Crosley because it was a unique one of a kind
vehicle that was actually owned and driven by Powel Crosley himself.
My Father drove this car in parades, and displayed it at various Car
Shows until his passing in 2003. Since that time it has been
maintained in climate controlled storage, and runs as perfectly as
the day my Dad drove it in the garage for the last time. Everything
on this vehicle is in excellent condition and working. I will
include an owners/operating manual concerning the features of this
car. This is a great opportunity to own a special piece of
automotive history. The pictures tell the story. Please contact me
if you wish to view/drive this vehicle which is located in
Cincinnati, Ohio (home of Crosley Motors). Shipping or pickup costs
and arrangements are the responsibility of the buyer. Payment must
be made in cash or by certified/cashiers bank check within 7 days of
the auction close. Please contact me with any questions.......thank
you for looking! The other Crosley cars and any related parts or
items in my Father's Estate are not being offered at this time. Any
future offering for sale of these items, and the method of sale, has
yet to be determined by the Family. Thank you for your interest.
